Perisher is a super fun resort. Is the highest Australian resort and so gemerally has the best snow quality. It is also the largest resort in the SH and comprises of 4 mountain areas.

Accommodation options to stay at Perisher are very expensive so a more affordable option is to stay at Jindabyne and... More

However, if you can pick your time away from weekends and school holidays, it can make a huge difference. Operated by Vail, it is hoped that facilities can be modernised in the future. Needs a village, but it seems that this has been on the... More
